/ On complaint of the Town Grand
Juror last Thursday Justice Wiswell
signed warrant authorizing the search
ing of Jos. LaPage's premises for liquor
| The necessary documents were placed in
Sheriff Parker's hands, and with the aid
of his deputy, Norris Raymore, the
premises were searched, which resulted
i'll finding in the barn cellar keg con-
tanning seven gallons of whiskey. The
liquor was turned over to the town, and
is now iii the hands of the person whom
the law authorizes to sell it. We have
no disposition to injure Mr.. LaPage.
Aside from his dealing in this unlawful
stuff, he is good neighbor and an ex-
accommodating and Obliging. Yet we
feel that we would not be doing our duty
as a newspaper publisher (bound not
i only to publish the news but to froWn
upon all attempts TO violate our laws
were we to pass this event by unnoticed
We may not all be agreed as to the tenn
perance question; yet there is general
Eunanlmlty on the fact that the law ought
not, to be broken and that he who does
SO must pay the penalty. Evidently
there is determination that there shall
be less selling of liquor in this place and
, we are sure the authorities will receive
the support OF all law abiding citizens
when they attempt to put a stop to it.
we understand that Mr.. LaPage prom
ises to give up the traffic, and the author
itiestare disposed to let the prosecution
, rest without further punishment if he
so does.
